Is FIFA neutral or siding with the powerful? Former US footballer and academic Jules Boykoff argues FIFA's handling of Iran at the 2026 World Cup exposes the limits of its political neutrality.
Loathe that so many people will still tune in. It’s a f*cking soccer game. It’s not the f*cking olympics. They’ve shown time and time again, they do not give a sh*t about actually being “non-political.” People just won’t put something else on the tv. Utterly absurd behavior.
FIFA failed every part of its objectives. The venues should have been changed. Israel should have been banned or not ban Russia. It’s tax status should be reviewed.
The billionaires destroyed the World Cup just like they destroyed absolutely everything else on this planet and now they're gonna start killing us all.

That's FIFA by the way side with oppressors.
